Apt unmet dependencies while installing R on Ubuntu 16.04

I wanted to install the new R version so I did a purge by removing all r-*. And then I broke everything unfortunately. I try to reinstall R project by typing

sudo apt install r-base r-base-core r-recommended

and then I obtain

Reading package lists... Done  

Building dependency tree         

Reading state information... Done  

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

or been moved out of Incoming.

The following information may help to resolve the situation:



 The following packages have unmet dependencies.  

 r-base-core : Depends: libc6 (>= 2.27) but 2.23-0ubuntu11 is to be 

               installed  

               Depends: libcurl4 (>= 7.28.0) but it is not installable  

               Depends: libicu60 (>= 60.1-1~) but it is not installable  

               Depends: libreadline7 (>= 6.0) but it is not installable  

               Recommends: r-base-dev but it is not going to be installed  

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Does anyone know how to solve this ?

You have held-broken packages. Fix this first (ie. try sudo apt -f install & explore anything it reports, I would fix those first). I'd also view the apt logs to see what you removed with your first listed command, and use that as a guide on fixing your system. I'd suggest closely avoiding using wildcards on remove commands unless you closely scrutinize what's being removed

A quick look at the 16.04 repo reveals that the versions of the lib dependencies that are attempting to be installed are not part of the standard 16.04 distribution so they're not available. Is it possible you're trying to install a newer version of R still such that the dependencies can't be met on your Ubuntu distro as is? packages.ubuntu.com/en/xenial/libs

Ok, I'm dumb. I found out that I put the wrong source in my sources.list. I put deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu cosmic-cran35/ instead of deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu xenial-cran35/. Thank you !

I added the wrong source in my sources.list. Instead of putting the xenial one, I put the cosmic one. By correcting this, everything seems to work now !
